648 - Chocolate Covered Bananas
(by Shirley McNevich)
4 bananas
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Peel the bananas and break each banana into two even pieces. Insert a bamboo
skewer into each piece for the handle. Wrap each banana half in aluminum foil and
place in the freezer overnight until frozen solid. The next day, place the cream in a
small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat.
Place the chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the hot cream over the chips--let them
sit 2 minutes, and then stir with a spoon until smooth and the chocolate is completely
melted (about 2 minutes). Chop peanuts and place in a small bowl--set aside.
Remove the bananas from the freezer and unwrap. Cover a cookie sheet with waxpaper. Holding the skewer on the banana and dip in the melted chocolate/cream until
coated. Sprinkle the coated banana with chopped peanuts. Set the banana on the
wax paper--repeat with all bananas. Serve immediately or return the bananas to the
freezer until ready to serve.
